I'm not a prepper but after experiencing rolling blackouts in the dead of winter as well as a 24 hour outage during the height of summer I thought it prudent.
Most of our outages are localized due to weather or equipment failure so refueling should only require a short 20 minute drive.

they're waiting & hoping to see a cheap one on sale at woot before the next hurricane hits. when it does and woot hasn't come through, then they're forced to buy at full price.
